hi as im reading my manuals on MCP section it altitude section it talks about ALT HLD and ALT ACQ , but the problem is there is no such a swtich for ALT ACQ on MCP !!!! it doesnt tell u how u can engage or even which switch to press for ALT ACQ . so i someone can tell me how do u engage ALT ACQ . i would really appreciate it.
im a pilot and will be starting my training next month for Boeing 737-800 , also i know in order to capture your altitude ,you have the option of ALT HLD or VNAV through FMC.
 
It means altitude acquire, I presume this is on a simulator? Which one?

OK, guessing FSX? If you are in alt hold and not within 200' of the set altitude you will get ALT ACQ and it will head off towards the selected altitude at whatever you set VS to.
